If you are reading it using Windows MobiPocket Reader then it has been initialized. However, make sure you are using the version of the ebook from the MobiPocket ebook directory, which you can find by clicking on "?" icon -> Settings -> Advanced. MobiPocket always copies your ebook to that location, and that is the one that definitely has a PID in it if you can read it.

You can also go to mobipocket.com, select "My Bookself" and then "My Device List". If it has no entries, then add your Windows PC and redownload the ebook. In fact, even if the Windows PID is there I suggest redownloading the ebook anyway. If you bought from some other ebook vendor, then do this, or something similar, at their site (rather than at mobipocket.com).
